Hi,

The 'cclogd' (Chassis Log logging daemon) is a daemon that runs as part of your system diagnotistics. There is also a detailed man page on it. You will most likely find that is recording information into logs.

/var/stm/logs/sys/activity_log_cclogd - Activity log of cclogd
/var/stm/logs/os/ccbootlog - Last OS Chassis Code boot log
/var/stm/logs/os/ccbootlog## - OS Chassis Code boot log archives
/var/stm/logs/os/ccerrlog - Chassis Code error log
/var/stm/data/daemon_list - List of daemons installed

Install the patch PHSS_24044 or the superceding (newer) ones.

Hope this helps. Regards.

hi ,
cclogd is chassis code log daemon.
ref:HP
it will create new /var/stm/logs/os/ccbootlog file each time system is rebooted or the file size reaches 750K in size. When the 11th consecutive archive is being performed (ccbootlog.#+1), cclogd will
clear out the archived log files completely and get stuck in an endless loop, consuming excessive CPU cycles in the process. Also, ALL
ccbootlog.## files will be removed at this point which verifies you are seeing this
problem.

The solution for this problem is to make sure the ccbootlog archive file never exceed a total of 10. This can be done by a cron job script or manually by removing the oldest ccbootlog files.
patches:
PHSS_23658 for 11.0 PHSS_23659 for 11.11

Hello,

I experienced the same problem on STM A.24 Version and resolved this issue by upgrading Support Tools from A.24 to A.26 last year.

Please refer to HP Software Depot Homepage for the latest Support Tools.

You can kill cclogd daemon in case of emergency.
/sbin/init.d/diagnostic stop
/sbin/init.d/diagnostic start

Hope this helps.
